2000 F350 diesel project

Well I know you jump on me for had big useless diesel truck.

Reason I must had F350 diesel. It pull trailers that estimated 3,000 to 16,000 pounds. I average about 30K miles on gas truck.

I been repair alot issues on this truck that was extremely neglected by Preview owner.

Now it need. Here list
Fix fuel tank leak. I think return hose quick connector leak. It no fun to manage 38 gallons of diesel.

Rebuilt turbo due stupid preview owner not change oil. Suspect leak boost.

Radiator need pulled out and clean. The fins is clogged by white stuff that was allergy season in Michigan if anyone know what I am talk about. It white fuzzies with brown ball.

Then I can remove radiator fan off for winter season. Hoping it improve fuel economy.

I put new smaller tires which is factory size. 265/75/16 Mastercraft couser HTR. It look like michellin LTX.

I can't lower truck due Ford set factory way so I am stuck But I only can lower rear end about 2" but need look for parts for that.

I plan remove that black plastic fenders off. They look it going block air when it flow.

Oh by way it had new auto transmission with torque converter that had lower stall speed 1400 rpm and billet cover. Old torque converter was around 1600. I did notice it moving quicker in cities.
